The Buffalo Bills could be approaching some history if rookie quarterback Nathan Peterman starts on Sunday against the New York Jets.
Both Tyrod Taylor and T.J. Yates remain in the concussion protocol, although they returned to the practice field on Monday. If Taylor is unable to go, Peterman would be in line to start the season opener.
Peterman was the 171st pick of the 2017 NFL Draft. Only three quarterbacks drafted 100th or later have ever started Week 1 as a rookie:
- Our old friend Kyle Orton was the 106th pick of the 2005 NFL Draft, and started 15 games for the Chicago Bears.
